B.C. government adds $50K to province’s effort to win Amazon’s new headquarters
VANCOUVER — B.C.’s government is contributing $50,000 to support Metro Vancouver’s effort to woo Amazon into selecting the city as the site for its second headquarters.
“I want to ensure that Amazon H2Q comes to British Columbia,” said Premier John Horgan at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver on Friday.
The cash influx will help Metro Vancouver partners, including the cities of Surrey and Vancouver, prepare a submission to house the Amazon campus.
The province’s fast-growing tech sector is already home to several American companies and offers unlimited possibilities for technology firms like Amazon, Horgan said.
